Subject: IndexWriter and IndexReader open at the same time
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

Hello,

I have an application that gets many delete and write resquests at the
same time.  to avoid opening and closing the IndexWriter and
IndexReader everytime one of them need to do a write operation, i keep
them both open and have a shared lock around them whenever i need to
use them for writing.  everything seems to be working in order, but
i'm not sure if this is a safe thing to do.  please let me know.

thank you,=20
